Scrap, £50 or whatever it is nowadays. Can't see anyone able to offer any constructive advice with no photos or information on the vehicle.

That hole is there to let the water out which comes in through the windscreen, the doors and the other multitude of gaps and holes in the bulkhead.

When you have fun getting it dirty make sure you do it in a responsible manner.

Did a bit of welding on Saturday, did some more on Sunday. Guess what I did today? Yes that's right I did a bit more welding! Atleast I have finished that bit now, just have to do the next bit and by the time I have done that I am sure another bit will appear. 🤨

Ignition switch maybe and dash instrument earth. Obviously it's something you have touched so check your work. Hard to know what previous owners have done during an engine conversion.

Well done, an introduction AND a photo, looks like you covered all the bases. Welcome and enjoy your Defender.

They can't prove otherwise just like you. If they are Land Rover stamped then I would class them as factory option. Get a sale brochure for that year to prove they were factory fitted options.

It will be the cheapest of Chinese tat which will be barely capable of switching a relay. I have one of them Mudstuff things, took it off as it restricted the view of the passenger front corner.

Whatever product you use there is no point in spraying it on the rust, you have to deal with that first. Firstly it's vital you clean the inside of the chassis, then some sort of rust converter followed by a generous coat of cavity wax. Then you can deal with the outside. Or you can just spray...

You can get the instrument panel out with the steering wheel and bezels on, well mine you can and also my son's. Should mention there is evidence to suggest both of ours have rubbed slightly at sometime in their life. Steering wheel isn't really that much of a bother to take off.

I'd take it to a garage, it's almost impossible to diagnose otherwise.

Pretty sure I left the manifold on the head, be aware it's rather heavy to lift off.

Just so you know there are some core plugs in the head under the rocker shaft that can leak. Handly I found this out after I changed the head gasket!

Strange isn't it, fitted a new VDO one to my son's and it's so quiet you can hardly hear it.

I don't know why you presume a noisy pump is faulty, mines been noisy for 4 years.. My son's has always been quiet and was still quiet when it stopped working

More likely invalidate since it's illegal to remove the dpf.

I wouldn't be presuming it's the injectors without diagnostics, seems like an expensive guess to me. With regards to fuel pump are you fitting cheap ones or VDO ones? A duff starter will affect the cps and make it hard to start, once stared it would run fine, mine did anyway. Surely faulty...

Camshaft front cover/grommet/seal on front of head. Rocker cover gasket. Fuel pressure regulator Power steering pump. Clean it all off with brake cleaner and start from the top down. Two different rocker cover gaskets depending on the year.
